Every dog is softmouthed once its brought up probably.if you feed the dog a rabbit its fecked.once you keep it away from chewing toys tat make noise and the more they bite down on it it will make more noise just like a rabbit so keep them away.and like the man said above if you train it right to retrieve it should be softmouthed and start the dog retrieving before you put it on a rabbit and make sure he is 100 % on retrieving with the skin if ya want the dog 100%
